They have plenty of playing time for him and probably gave him 3 million. Bunch of the hog fans thought they would lock him down so that will be funny to hear their excuses.

He must not be interested in a FF because they missed their window last year.

Surprising. Not a old man Barnes type of player.
That's about the only school in his final five where I can see him being a bust he doesn't fit their style at all and I could see him getting lost in the mix just being another average player

We are still missing a go to man
You’d rather have a 180-pound freshman with the ball in his hands on the final play in the SEC than Otega Oweh. Did you see either of the Oklahoma games?

As far as that goes, Jaland Lowe has game winners on his resume against Duke and UNC, and has been a ‘go to’ in the ACC. I’ll give him the ball in the SEC ahead of a high school pipe cleaner.

I’d rather have Dioubate, he’s a grown man and no 6 foot 9 one hundred and ninety pound freshman is going to get the best of him. Very few freshman are going to be as productive as a dude like Mo who has been through the SEC guantlet. I never commented on Ament much because I never thought he was coming here anyway. Tennessee doesn’t worry me, they were as good as they will ever be last year and we won two out of three.

I didn’t say anyone. I just said we are missing a go to guy. Please try reading all the words without adding extras

I don't think Lowe is being valued the way that he should be. His shooting percentage went down because he was the main threat and had to do volume shooting. Plus other teams knew he was their best player so they focused on him.

He wont have to be the man here and he should thrive in Popes system. I was able to watch him several times and he reminds me of Sears . I love Butler but Lowe is way more athletic and explosive.

No. He can’t shoot consistently and missing 3 layups a game is not a go to guy.
He stepped up big in some games for us and secured our victory multiple times so it would be great to have him back. He definitely needs to improve his ball handling and shooting skills. Also not driving to the basket and throwing up shots that don't even hit the rim. Thats why he's not on the draft boards right now.

I will also say I never saw a team miss so many layups in my life as this past year. Hopefully we get that and the injury bug out of our system.

Surprising pick. Would have been much worse if he picked Ark or Duke. Not sure he makes much a difference at TN.
He doesn’t seem like a defensive lockdown player Barnes likes. I mean Dalton wasn’t but he was a college veteran as well. UT will end up being good like always though I’m sure.

He played poorly and tentative this past weekend. He got criticized pretty hard for basically doing nothing in the game.

TN may be a bigger problem than we may think. I read they were also getting the 6'8" kid from LMU and the Rice kid from Maryland.

I watched the second half and didn’t even remember him being on the court. Now All Star games are the last place to look for stars and how they will play but it is weird a supposed stud was invisible.

Agreed that you take those games with a grain of salt but he really got dogged after the game. Oh well Tennessee can have him.
